Aspects of Planning

There are two main aspects to the practice of town planning: forward planning and development control.
Forward planning is the process of goal-setting: identifying the best possible use for each part of the country and developing guidelines toward the future vision. It includes:

• Planning Scheme Preparation
• Advisory Plan Preparation
• Scheme Amendment (including Rezoning)

Development control is the process of implementing planning regulations on current development: considering proposed developments against the objective of the area to decide whether each is appropriate. It includes:

• Subdivision Assessment
• Development Assessment
• Master Planning
